Fabricated Aileron Hinge Bracket Assemblies

I needed a break from the tank work, so I decided to fabricate the aileron hinge bracket assemblies.  There are four total (one inboard and one outboard for each wing).  Here are the two outboard brackets.  The L-shaped section at the rear will wrap around the end of the rear spar and rivet to the end ribs.


Here are the two inboard brackets.  These will get riveted to the reinforced section of the center of the rear spar.


Here is a closeup of the captured hinge bearing.  This is free to rotate within the race which allows the aileron to swing freely even if there is some small misalignment of the brackets.
